Sapienza University will be at InnovAgorà (Milan, May 6-8), the event on patents that is held at the “Leonardo da Vinci” Science and Technology Museum. The event, which is promoted by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR) and organised by the National Research Council (CNR), will present the most innovative technology developed by academia to simplify the process of technology transfer to enterprise and promote economic and social development.

InnovAgorà makes its Milan debut to mark the 5^thcentennial of Leonardo da Vinci’s death and the beginning of a new MIUR programme dedicated to research and technology transfer.
